Phi
Cool red starIts story
φ Aquarii burns with deep red light at 202 light-years, an M-class giant set in the side of the Water Bearer. Its crimson tone is that of the coolest stars in the spectral catalogue — vast bodies whose atmospheres have swollen until they cooled to the edge of the visible. To look at φ Aquarii is to glimpse the long, quiet ending of a stellar life.
